for the first time in 2010.
Joe & I worked on the car until we could not go
any longer and went home late into the night.
Joe worked on the car until 1:30 am one day and
midnight the next night. Joe worked hard for days to
get to race a double header fathers day race weekend.
Finally after fabrication work, building new oil and cooling
lines, linkages and wiring.
We wanted to practice Friday night but we could not get
the car done, we started again on Saturday morning ,
by 3 pm Saturday we still had not had the car 100%
completed, Joe jumped into the car and drove it
to the speedway right down Las Vegas blvd to the track
to make it to have the car presented at tech.
We took the car out on the track and Joe said the car was
too loose to get up to speed, this was our only practice session
prior to the first feature event of the night.
Joe started last in a field of 16 cars and stayed back about
15 lenghts behind the entire field so we could use this for a
practice session, the car was better but not good enough.
Joe stayed up with the field of cars until lap 5 when we
Joe stayed up with the field of cars until lap 5 when we
developed a miss in the engine, Joe pulled into the infield
and then pulled off the track for Tim, Cody and I to diagnose
the problem.
We felt this may have been a battery issue so we replaced the
battery and sent Joe out for the 2nd feature of the night,
5 laps later the same thing happened and we parked the car
for the night.
We will find the problem since we have 2 weeks to correct
it and try again.
stay tuned ...
